Album Quote: "This album is playable on computers."
Album Quote: "This has been a very cheap album. It is also a very fast album, using only presets of a cheap synthesizer and never thinking about the consequences. Created in various sessions late at night, no editing."
Album Quote: "Former mp3.com only release. Those were the days."
Album Quote: "I wish I had something to say."

Album Quote: "The only drum and bass E.P. ever released on Laynecom Records leaves a strange taste. It plays with stereotypes of d'n'b but lacks something. Hard to tell what it is."
Album Quote: "I have always been fascinated with the way songs ended. Just think of long guitar feedback fadeouts, synths that got too much hall or echo, noises in the background you hardly hear. I wanted to make an album full of minute long endings. Accompanied by two longer pieces that never seem to end or could end faster."
Album Quote: "Patterns and structures, clusters and void. This E.P. is a lo-fi version of a pebble beach."

Laynecom Records is a netlabel concerned with form rather than content. Tracks may thus take some time in the making. The aim is to create spaces through sounds and noises that have a unpredictable effect on the listener. Sometimes she or he is rewarded with a melody or a well known snippet of pop cultural history. But the way to that is a long and winding process.
Music made with technological means is always limited to tools. Either you are limited by the timeline and a pre-defined rhythm or you are limited by the sound your synthesizer or effect tool is able to produce, even if you are creating your own synths by using Reaktor or a similar software. However, within that limitation there is a universe of possible combinations. This is something this label is about. Finding a different combination. Rejecting rules of correct processes. Annoying the pretense.
Still you might find a niche of pleasure within the vast spaces of errors.
All music is original, composed and produced by Alexander Sperl. Performed by his PCs and various tools.
